This an insult to anyone who has had to report a problem, either because it happened to them or they were a witness (raising hand on second one).

Grandpa Joe Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 A lot of people think that the board needs to be overhauled. Anyone who had a hand in the mess that the VMAPA organization is currently in needs to go, and should have been thrown out immediately. Period. Name a business that continues to keep people in charge that has ruined the companies reputation and financial grounds that has continued to operate successfully and has the communities trust. I'll wait. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The especially won't get free labor anymore if they act like you have in this thread. 6 minutes ago, DSpruce said: under the label whistleblower takes the position that any dissatisfaction or explanation of dissatisfaction is hostility and retaliation. Then have VMAPA actually conclude my whistleblower complaint. By their own accounts, it's still open. The employer/perpetrator of harm does not solely get to define when retaliation has occurred.

Amen! Sadly, it is abundantly clear that the sole purpose of the poster to whom you are replying is to defend and protect the status quo with no commitment to curiosity or objectivity. Two things can be true at once. Edited August 6, 2023 by arabica 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll wait. This is a good example of others in this thread and the community calling for a changeover in leadership. I have never done so publicly intentionally because I like to maintain hope that leadership can change. Especially when I've so painstakingly attempted to create channels of communication. Others have too. On my behalf. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then, the organization has lost all trust, credibility, and support from myself and many others I've been in discussion with. We may not be alumni, but some are donors and fans of the organization. Well, they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
